What Is a Travel Management Company?
A Travel Management Company (TMC) is a specialist agency that helps businesses organise, book, and manage their corporate travel. Whether it’s flights, hotels, trains, car hire, or travel policies — a TMC handles everything under one roof.
Think of it as an outsourced travel department for your business, combining expert human support with smart booking tools and cost control.
Why Do UK Companies Use TMCs?
Business travel isn’t just about booking tickets anymore. It’s about:
Staying compliant with internal policies
Keeping staff safe on the road
Reducing costs across departments
Reporting on spend and sustainability
A good TMC like Wayte Travel doesn’t just book your travel — we help optimise it.
Key Benefits of Using a TMC
✅ Cost Savings – Access to negotiated fares, smarter route planning, and real-time budget tracking.
✅ 24/7 Support – Emergency changes? Cancelled flights? Your team can speak to a real person — day or night.
✅ Compliance & Control – We build your company policy into the booking platform so every trip follows your rules.
✅ Data & Reporting – Need a breakdown of travel spend by department? CO₂ emissions by traveller? We’ve got that covered.
✅ Time Back – Your teams can stop managing bookings and start focusing on what they do best.
Signs You Might Need a TMC
You’re managing travel manually through email or multiple websites
There’s no clear policy or approval process
You lack visibility on spend or traveller safety
Last-minute changes create chaos and extra costs
Your team wastes time comparing prices and itineraries
If this sounds familiar, you’ll benefit from working with a TMC — especially one with 40+ years of UK business travel experience.
